Bath re-enamelling in Ousden, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Ousden
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ousden
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
